The first installment of “Pitch Perfect” raked in a respectable $65 million in domestic ticket sales back in 2012, so everyone was a bit shocked when “Pitch Perfect 2” earned a whopping $70.3 million during this past weekend’s opening run!

The Elizabeth Banks-directed musical comedy beat out the highly-anticipated “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which opened with $44.4 million, as well as “Avengers: Age of Ultron” ($38.8 million), “Hot Pursuit” ($5.8 million) and “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2” ($3.6 million).
